Interesting Advertisement Placement

Blogging the Conflict: May 31st, 2007

Unlike yesterday, there have already been a number of Qassams that have landed in Israel. So far, there have been no reports of injuries or damage, although it is being reported that another victim has succumbed to wounds he received last week, making him the 11th victim of Qassam rocket fire, and the 3rd in [...]

Connections

Former slacker turned Islamic wacker, Adam Gadahn, has appeared in an internet video, warning of worse attacks on his birthplace the US. The United States will face worse attacks than those on September 11, 2001 if it does not heed al Qaeda demands effectively allowing the group control over Muslim countries, a U.S. Islamist militant [...]

El Presidente

The IHT reports on Shimon Peres’ Presidential bid. Vice Premier Shimon Peres announced his candidacy Wednesday for president of Israel, an office tarnished by rape and other sexual misconduct allegations against its current occupant, Moshe Katsav. I’m guessing this picture from today isn’t going to help his chances.  

Blogging the Conflict: May 30th, 2007

For the first time in over 2 weeks, I begin my daily liveblogging with news that no Qassams have fallen into Israel today. While I hope it remains this way, this is not likely, especially given the statement by Hamas’ Damascus-based political leader Khaled Meshal, that Hamas intends to continue its attacks on Israel despite [...]

Blogging the Conflict: May 29th, 2007

After yesterday’s tally of 17 Qassam rockets fired into Israel, today’s tally has been initiated with the firing of a Qassam earlier this morning.   Meanwhile, IDF operations against the terrorists have continued, with the IAF firing missiles at a Hamas building, IDF troops killing 2 Hamasholes and arresting 2 more during a gunbattle in Gaza, and IDF troops [...]

Quote of the Day

In terms of this Republican administration, some views about stem cell research, gay rights, separation of church and state, and on and on‚ÄîI don’t agree with any of them. But you can worry about the trees and the environment and gas emissions later. Right now there’s a bigger problem, and it’s a guy who doesn’t [...]

To Liveblog Or Not To Liveblog

For the past 2 weeks, I have been liveblogging the events here in Israel, to my knowledge the only English-speaking Israeli blogger to do so consistently. Given the escalation in the situation, I figured that readers would be interested in more regular posting on events “almost” as they happen, much like during the Second Lebanon [...]

Blogging the Conflict: May 28th, 2007

The daily ritual of being host to Qassam rockets has already started, with 3 being fired at Israel this morning. This brings the tally for the past 2 weeks to almost 250.   Of course, Hamas say they will stop firing them at us if we accept a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip and halt our attacks on Hamas. [...]

Breaking News

I interrupt my liveblogging to report that Suha Arafat has been assassinated by a Zionist agent.
